STEM Ambassadors

STEM Ambassadors use their enthusiasm and commitment to encourage young people to enjoy STEM subjects. They open the doors to opportunities and possibilities that come from pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects and careers.

Ambassadors also support teachers in the classroom by explaining current applications of STEM in industry or research.
